Great Song Pirate

Chapter 204 Chicken Coop Village (To)
With Xu Yi's Endeavor as the core, the ship headed towards Liuqiu Island. The people on board were very excited, only those captured were still anxious.

Xu Yi was sitting on the chair in the middle of the cabin, and the next ones were sitting on the accompanying personnel. Xu Yi asked Zheng Tong, "Brother Zheng, you can say that you have made great contributions to our Dulong Island this time." Thank you for your hard work during this time!"

Zheng Tong was the guide of the fleet this time, and he was very happy when he heard Xu Yi praise him, so he quickly got up and bowed and said: "It's the blessing of a villain to be able to serve the master, hard work is out of the question, but This trip really opened my eyes! I didn’t know how big Liuqiu Island was before, but now that I’ve been there, I realize that it’s many times bigger than our Dulong Island. What's the difference, there are rivers running horizontally and densely covered with forests, and only then did I know why Da Dangjia attaches so much importance to this place! Da Dangjia still has a far-sighted vision!"

Xu Yi smiled and waved his hands: "You can't say that, just sit down and talk! I'm not so far-sighted! I just heard about this place before, so I know a little bit about it. I want to ask, this time you go to Liuqiu What did you see on the island, did you meet other people? What impression do you have there? Please tell us in detail, so we can get ready!"

Zheng Tong thanked Xu Yi, sat down and began to talk: "This time I took two boats and sailed all the way according to the chart drawn by the master for Brother Wang. I really found Liuqiu Island very quickly. In fact, it is far away from here. It's not too far from the land, but I didn't pay much attention to this place in the past. After arriving there, my subordinates knew how big Liuqiu Island is. We sailed along the coast and searched for two days before we found a bay at the north end. Son, I thought the terrain was good there, so I let the boat dock in the bay and took people to the island to check it out. Generally speaking, it is still a barren land. I checked around Wanzi. There are dense forests and a lot of birds and beasts. It can be regarded as a happy place, but there are more mosquitoes and more rain. However, it is not a problem to build a stockade. The problem was that we had too few people last time. It’s much better this time, we can go inside and check again!”

After listening to Zheng Tong's words, Xu Yi had a general understanding. Although the island of Taiwan had been inhabited in history, before the Ming Dynasty, it was not included in the territory of the imperial courts of all dynasties. Although there were people who immigrated there in the Song Dynasty, it was not until the Yuan Dynasty that the Penghu Inspection Department was set up in the Penghu area to be responsible for the management of the Penghu area, let alone the garrison. It is estimated that there are not many people on the island now, and even if there are, most of them are originals. Residents, the population will not be too large, it should be the right time to go now.

After more than a day of sailing, the fleet finally saw the large piece of land on the sea. If they didn't know that it was a big island, they would have thought they were on the mainland!Standing on the bow of the boat, Xu Yi was a little excited, and finally saw the island of Taiwan that he had dreamed of for a long time!
The fleet did not land on the island immediately, but sailed all the way along the coastline until it reached a bay. Zheng Tongcai led the fleet into the bay. This should be the northernmost tip of Taiwan. Although Xu Yi has never been there Taiwan, but I have seen the map many times. According to his memory, it seems that this should be the location of Keelung City in Taiwan. This Zheng Tong is too good at finding a place. Keelung is an important port in Taiwan. I didn’t think about it. Being found by him, Xu Yi was full of praise, and Zheng Tong was a little elated.

Not long after the ship entered the bay, I saw a small boat quickly rowing towards the fleet, and someone on it waved vigorously towards the fleet. Xu Yi looked at Zheng Tong strangely, and Zheng Tong explained to him with a smile: "When the subordinates left here, dozens of brothers were left here. First, they set up a small camp and waited for the big boss to come. Now they are here to pick up the big boss!"

Only then did Xu Yi realize that the visitors were also his own people, so he let the fleet, led by these people, quickly land on the shore. After the boat docked, the brothers who had been waiting here greeted Xu Yi and others happily. disembarked.

Standing on the beach, Xu Yi was very excited. He finally set foot on this land. If it were left in the future, it would not be easy to come here.

After observing the situation here, although it is indeed a good port, it is no wonder that people of later generations established Keelung City here. As a port, this place is really a treasure land of geomantic omen, and the terrain here is flat, but it is very suitable for building a village. Accompanied by everyone, they went to the shore and took out a simple camp. A few tents were temporarily set up here, but because of the weather, it was very stuffy inside, and people were sweating profusely before they sat down. They had no choice but to go out of the house and sit down. Under the shade of a big tree outside, at any rate, there is some wind here, which makes people feel cooler.

"Brother Wang, you guys did a good job this time. This place was chosen quite well. We will decide to build a village here in the future!" Xu Yi affirmed Wang Feng and the others, shaking his hands vigorously. Fanzi, the weather here is really hot. It’s no wonder that Taiwan Island is originally located on the Tropic of Cancer, and most of the area is in the tropics. Although this is the northernmost tip of Taiwan Island, the weather is still very hot. Regarding this point, Xu Yi still very clear.

"Finally, I have lived up to the expectations of the head of the family. I am relieved this time! Otherwise, I, Wang Feng, would really be ashamed to go back to see you and the brothers! But this time, Zheng Tong deserves the most credit. I didn't make much effort. Now look It’s really good to come here, it’s bigger than our Dulong Island! Hehe!” Wang Feng scratched his head and laughed.

"Yes! When the master asked us to come here, we really didn't pay much attention to it. We didn't expect that Liuqiu Island would be so big. It was beyond our expectation. After we occupy this place, we won't be afraid of anything. , I think there can be tens of thousands of people here! Even if we encounter officers and soldiers chasing us again, as long as we retreat to the island, there may not be tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and we will not even try to find us!" Kong Qingxi took over Let's talk about it.

"Yes! That's why I asked you to find this place. Although the terrain of our Dulong Island is dangerous, the area there is limited after all. There will be more and more people in the future. There is always no great future for us to stay there. That's why I asked you to come here. This time I brought more than a thousand brothers, plus Cao Lao Si's subordinates on the road, all of them will be handed over to you two to call. You must build a dock here as soon as possible. Zhaizi, I will send more people here within the year. This matter is your top priority in the near future. You must start as soon as possible. This place is no different from Dulong Island. You must be more careful in everything. Meeting other forces does not mean that there are no other people here, you must seize the time to gain a foothold here so that we can rest assured!" Xu Yi fanned his fan and ordered.

Wang Feng, Kong Qingxi and others got up immediately, and then sat down again under Xu Yi's greeting. Xu Yi continued: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. This time I brought a lot of craftsmen from the island with the boat. You should take care of yourself." Use it, if there is a shortage, just send a letter back, and I will send it to you. In addition, you must send some capable brothers to find out all the places within a hundred miles, draw a map, and mark it clearly. If you want to, try not to conflict with them, after all, we don't have many people now, so we should try our best to be safe!"

After a brief arrangement, everyone started to work. First, the captured people were brought off the boat. Xu Yi came forward to appease them, and told them very clearly that if he worked honestly here, his life would be safe. If he was disobedient, he wanted to escape. , If you are lazy, then try it out, their knives are not vegetarian, and this is an island, if you want to escape, you can either swim back or let the natives on the island eat it raw, but as long as they work hard If they live, they will be regarded as their own people in the future, and they can't treat them badly.

These captives on the boat already understood who the person who killed their fourth master this time was, and they also knew how powerful their methods on Dulong Island were. Now that they heard that they were not going to be killed, they were relieved and followed whoever they were. It's not just asking for food, it's good to stay alive, so they all knelt down and saluted, expressing their willingness to stay and obey orders, Xu Yi and the others didn't worry about what happened to these people, so they assigned them to the craftsmen who came with the boat , began to get busy.

This time, Xu Yi brought a lot of supplies with the ship, including food, tools, tents, etc. Everyone unloaded the goods on land one after another, and sent a group of strong brothers to start logging in the nearby forest. The felled wood was transported back to the temporary camp for those captives, and they set up camp.

Originally, according to Wang Feng and the others, we should build a house here first, but Xu Yi thought for a while and asked them to build a fence first. After all, this place is no better than Dulong Island. There may be other forces nearby, so we should build a fence. It is more reliable.

Wang Feng was right when he thought about it. This is a new place, so it is better to be cautious, so he arranged for people to surround the felled wood and form a prototype of a stockade. These things are not unfamiliar to them, so the progress Soon, in three days, a temporary camp covering an area of ​​about a thousand acres was surrounded here, and tents were set up in the camp, and they settled down temporarily.

The livestock and poultry brought along on the boat were also taken down. Xu Yi happened to walk to a chicken coop that was being built, and met Wang Feng and walked over.

"Master, our village has been established, so we must give it a name! How about you...?" Wang Feng asked Xu Yi.

"Keelung! Let's call it Keelung Village!" Xu Yi replied casually without even thinking about it. Anyway, this is where the future Keelung Port is located, so it should be called Keelung.

"Chicken coop? Chicken coop village?" Wang Feng was a little confused. The head of the family is usually quite talented, so why did he give this village such a silly name?Forget it, Fangzheng is the boss, so the chicken coop is just a chicken coop!As a result, by mistake, the word Keelung originally set by Xu Yi was tampered with by this Wang Feng into the word chicken cage. When Xu Yi figured out this matter, he was a little dumbfounded, but the name of chicken cage village had been taken by Wang Feng and the others. These people spread the word, so they simply made the mistake and called it Jilongzhai.

Note: In the Keelung area, the people of Zhangzhou opened the portal society of Keelung Port "Liaodao" (today's Heping Island) in the era of Zheng Chenggong. , named because the terrain resembles a chicken coop), established settlements, opened up a market for business, and called it 'Chicken Coop Street'.During the reign of Emperor Guangxu, people from Zhangzhou accounted for more than half of the population here, and the Dianji Palace was built here to enshrine the "Sage King of Kaizhang".
